Pictorial-verbal Modality of Communication

Natural languages are introspective, and here is an obvious discrepancy between feeling the language and theorizing about it by the means of a traditional linguistic metalanguage. This discrepancy conceals from our eyes some important issues. The aim consists in considering one of them and discussing the possibility of using pictorial-verbal modality for simulating introspective verbal language within man-machine communication. Principles of realization and general challenges of the approach are also discussed.
